Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST uR0xds53. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. It is generally assumed that familial aggregation of lipids relates to both genetic and shared environmental factors. To determine the degree to which familial similarities in lifestyle habits explain familial aggregation of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the authors analyzed 1994-1996 data from 2,284 US adult participants in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart Study. For men and women, respectively, HDL cholesterol correlated with alcohol consumption (r=0.27, p |
